Hi thanks for your query and welcome to lybrate. I am Dr. Akshay from fortis hospital, new delhi. You appear to be a very determined to be bride. Anyway what I understand from your history is that you have 2 issues: one is leg pain and other is belly fat. Your leg pain started because your leg muscles are not used to this kind of load.
Normally you should always start with less and increase it gradually over a period of time with regular muscle strengthening.
Also you need to do a pre-exercise regime wherein you stretch your muscles and do a light warm up before actually starting to run.
Normally it builds up over a period of time, but process has to be a slow and a steady one.
Now since you have pain: please start with ice packs, limb elevation, restriction of your physical activity tom as much as possible, gentle otc anti-inflammatory as per your suitability. Your pain should settle in about 5-7 days time. Your weight in any case is not much, so do not worry about burning those extra calories please. Do not hesitate to contact me if you need any further assistance.
Thanks & regards
Dr. Akshay kumar saxena
Consultant orthopaedics fortis hospital, new delhi.

If it does not give relief in 4-5days, inform.

Hi.
Is there any history of injury or hurt to the area? any underlying medical condition?
the pain in legs can be because of - muscle cramps (due to tiredness or dehydration), shin splints (doing activity over and over on hard surfaces can bring this on. You may also be more likely to get shin splints if you have flat feet or your feet turn outward. Rest your legs to feel better. Ice helps), tendinitis (you can get it from overworking the calf muscle or climbing the stairs, apply ice to get some relief), sprains (do rest, ice, compression & elevation).
Other causes are varicose veins, arterial disease, sciatica, diabetic neuropathy.
Medication:
meantime, take homoeopathic medicines - arnica 200 and rhus tox. 200 - take both of them thrice daily for 1 week. Also, apply schwabe's topi-arnica and topi mp gel on the affected area in circular motions gently thrice a day. And wrap crepe bandage over it.
Get back to me thereafter. For dry foot skin:
apply schwabe's aloe vera cream immediately after bathing, use schwabe's skin care soap.

Getting up in the morning is actually a good habit why you want yo change it and if you want yo take a nap inbetween there is nothing wrong in it these are just habits you can adapt to them whatever way you like.

Hi thanks for your query and welcome to lybrate. I am Dr. Akshay from fortis hospital, new delhi. You have stated symptoms as pain radiating from thigh to the toes.
Can I ask you whether you have numbness, weakness in legs, paresthesias (electric shock like sensations in legs also)?
how much distance can you walk and does your symptoms increase on walking? do you have complaints of back pain also? if answers to above questions are yes, then we are actually at pathology in spine, but otherwise we will have to get some blood tests done for you and see how it goes.
Please attach all investigations you have done recently so that I can help you in prescribing a treatment. Do not hesitate to contact me if you need any further assistance.

Give the shoulder a few days rest. If pain persists try simple analgesics for 3 days. If pain relief is not adequate you may have to visit your local orthopaedic specialist and get the shoulder examined.
